Metropolis Youth Basketball League Concludes Another Successful Season
The Metropolis Youth Basketball League has wrapped up another exciting and successful season, bringing together youth from across the region to engage in spirited competition, fellowship, and sportsmanship. This year’s league was marked by strong bonds formed between players, coaches, and families, as well as the friendly rivalries that make this event so special each season.
The GOYA Boys, GOYA Girls, and JOY youth groups all showcased their dedication and teamwork throughout the season. Young athletes from various parishes came together not just to compete, but to build lasting friendships and strengthen the community spirit.
A special highlight of the season was the visit from His Eminence Metropolitan Methodios, who attended the games over the weekend, cheering on the teams and watching some of the playoff and championship matchups. His presence and encouragement were greatly appreciated by all players and supporters.
The basketball league, operating under the blessing of Metropolitan Methodios, is managed by the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministries, led by Panos Coufos and League Manager Alexandra Baltas. Their leadership and dedication, along with the efforts of all staff members, have been instrumental in making this season a success. The league extends its heartfelt gratitude to all who contributed their time and effort.
Congratulations are in order for this year’s champions:
JOY Division: Watertown Team
GOYA Girls Division: Peabody Team
GOYA Boys Division: Worcester Church
These teams displayed exceptional teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the season, earning their well-deserved victories.
To celebrate the conclusion of another wonderful season, the Annual End-of-Season Basketball Banquet will be held on Sunday, March 30th at St. George Parish in Lynn. All players and their parents are invited to attend this special gathering, where achievements will be recognized, and the community will come together to reflect on the season’s memorable moments.
A sincere thank you goes out to all the youth who participated, representing their parishes with dedication and pride. Their commitment to the game and to each other continues to make the Metropolis Youth Basketball League a meaningful and cherished tradition. We look forward to another exciting season next year!
